Not rules but Good Practice:

• Treat others as you would have them treat you, hopefully with dignity and respect.
• Be polite and understanding that we are all unique and come from different parts of the world with different ways of life.
• Avoid politics as much as possible, your views are not more important than others and there's already other platforms to express your enthusiasm. Of course some political discussion are important as they are unavoidable, we recommend avoiding making an account strictly for this.
• We value free speech but we penalize those whom harass others for the sake of a sane community. Say what you will but don't cry to us when the community backlashes at hate threads for instance, that is your own undoing.

Penalties for breaking the rules:

There are different rules with different levels of severity all held within. Depending on how severe the rule is, a penalty could be a 24 or 48hr account ban or a full-fledged ban on the account and user in question with no reconciliation. We will send an E-Mail during the suspension.

If the account has been hacked, you may reconcile and we will investigate as we log pertinent information regarding the users for quality control. In this event we will work with you to restore your account.
